Author: Samuel Stennett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #73b (1908) Lyrics: 1 "'Tis finished!" so the Savior cried,
And meekly bowed His head and died;
'Tis finished--yes the race is run,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won.
2 'Tis finished! all that heaven decreed,
And all the ancient prophets said,
Is now fulfilled, as was designed,
In Thee, the Savior of mankind.
3 'Tis finished!--Aaron now no more
Must stain His robes with purple gore;
The sacred veil is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.
4 'Tis finished!--man is reconciled
To God, and powers of darkness spoiled:
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.
5 'Tis finished!--let the joyful sound
Be heard through all the nations round:
'Tis finished!--let the echo fly,
Through heaven and hell, through earth and sky. Topics: The Church Year Passion Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW
